But those were late in the era.
Did The Jungle Book show the sort of life anyone would want a child to lead?
Was Bedknobs and Broomsticks really for children? 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? The smart kids watched 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Not Disney, but was Chitty Chitty Bang-Bang that good?
Doctor Doolittle (even if it had Rex Harrison as the star)?
The sugar-craving children of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?
The Blue Bird was meant to be stylish and sophisticated -- a huge bomb.
The saccharine Sound of Music is about the most blatant cinematic Kitsch of all time. Face it -- it is set in Salzburg, Austria, home of what may have been the greatest composer of all time -- and there is no allusion to him. After that one, the Production Code vanished, and there started to be G (rarely sought), PG, M (quickly becoming R), and X (eventually NC-17, mostly pornography).

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
